Question

Will the lengths 60.5, 63, and 87.5 feet form a right triangle?

Answer 1

For a triangle to be a right triangle you can substitute the legs of the triangle (16 and 63) and the hypotenuse (65) into the Pythagorean Theorem. If the two sides of the equation are equal it is a right triangle. If they are not equal this is not a right triangle.
